Description:
When attempting to call updateString(colName, value) on an updateable ResultSet an SQLException is thrown complaining: "Parameter index out of range (5 > number of parameters, which is 4).  This also happens with other update methods, like updateInt(colName, value) and also when the column index is specified instead of the name.

The stack trace is as follows:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Parameter index out of range (2 > number of parameters, which is 1).
	at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.setInternal(PreparedStatement.java:2250)
	at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.setBytes(PreparedStatement.java:2019)
	at com.mysql.jdbc.UpdatableResultSet.syncUpdate(UpdatableResultSet.java:1355)
	at com.mysql.jdbc.UpdatableResultSet.updateInt(UpdatableResultSet.java:1970)
	at com.blah.db.MySqlAnsiBug.main(MySqlAnsiBug.java:36)

	at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)
	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585)
	...

It seems to be blowing up in a PreparedStatement that the driver is producing to carry out the updateString() - a PreparedStatement which I have no control over.

This only happens when MySQL is running in ansi mode - set by putting ansi in the [mysqld] section in my.ini/my.cnf.  updateXxx(colName, value) works fine when MySQL is NOT in ansi mode.

My workaround was to rewrite the offending code so that I didn't call updateXxx() - I used separate Statements for doing the update.

Note that this seems very similar to bug 18722 and may well be a duplicate of that.

Version info:

MySQL 4.1.11
Connector/J 3.1.12
Windows XP Professional and Linux (Debian sarge)

How to repeat:
Simply try to use updateString()/updateInt() with MySQL in ansi mode.  For example, the following code gives the exception when MySQL is in ansi mode, but runs fine when it is not:

public class MySqlAnsiBug {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        Connection connection = null;
        try {
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testing", "testing", "testing");
            Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
            statement.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE testing (col1 INTEGER NOT NULL, col2 VARCHAR(255) NULL, PRIMARY KEY (col1))");
            statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO testing VALUES (0, 'Blah'),(1, 'Boo')");
            statement.close();
            Statement updateableResultStmt = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
            ResultSet updateableResults = updateableResultStmt.executeQuery("SELECT * from testing");
            updateableResults.next();
            updateableResults.updateString("col2", "blah2");
            updateableResults.updateRow();
            updateableResults.close();
            updateableResultStmt.close();
        }
        finally {
            if (connection != null) {
                connection.close();
            }
        }
    }
}

The stack trace I submitted was for an occasion when I tried using updateInt() but the code I submitted used updateString().  For the sake of completeness, here's the trace for using updateString as my submitted code does:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Parameter index out of range (2 > number of parameters, which is 1).

        ...

It ends up blowing up in the same place anyway, it just goes via updateString().

Hi Tim. Thanks for your bug report. I was able to verify it. Attached test case runs if mode <> ansi.

run:
java.sql.SQLException: Parameter index out of range (2 > number of parameters, which is 1).

Hi Tonci,

Thanks for your replies.  I'm glad you could easily reproduce the issue.  It might also be worth mentioning that I'm pretty sure this used to work with Connector/J 3.0.15 and MySQL 4.0.15 - 4.0.2x.  At that time I think we were using Java 1.4.2.  I forgot to mention previously that currently we are using Java 1.5.0_05.
